PA Scholarships Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine

Physician Assistant Program Scholarships 

At the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine, our Physician Assistant Program prepares compassionate, highly skilled providers dedicated to serving communities across Utah and beyond.

During U Giving Days, we invite you to support PA student scholarships and invest in the next generation of health care leaders. Our students train in rigorous academic and clinical settings while serving in free clinics and leadership roles.

Many are first-generation graduates, career changers, or balancing significant family and financial responsibilities. Recent changes to federal loan programs—including borrowing caps and the elimination of federal loans—have made financing graduate education more uncertain, leaving some students with funding gaps or limited options.

Scholarships are more critical than ever to ensure financial barriers do not prevent talented, mission-driven students from completing their training.

Your support allows students to focus on clinical education, serve communities in need, and choose careers based on purpose. Every gift helps strengthen access to compassionate, high-quality care for years to come.

"The support this scholarship provides means a great deal to me as I work toward becoming a physician assistant, and it inspires me to continue to prioritize the values of the University of Utah into my future career and throughout my education. I'm grateful for your investment in my education" Andy Sekutowski, PA student
